What size is that sucker? I don't have a socket big enough and so I have to go buy the right one tomorrow. All I know is that it is bigger than 1 1/4"
Almost seems like it would be a metric size. It's not much bigger than 1 1/4" though.

Anyone know? I'd rather not buy the wrong one and have to make 2 trips to town, if you know what I mean.

I deperately have to change out my rear output shaft seal on the case. It's leaking REAL bad. like a quart and a half (or more) in 1200 miles.

It's times like that that I wish I owned caliper. Maybe I should go buy one of them little doohinkies tomorrow too if it's not too much money

Thanks in advance,

Rick

I believe it's 1 5/16", went through the same thing when I went to change my rear seal.

well thanks. If a 1 5/16 fits over the nut it will get the job done!

When you put the nut back on it needs to be tight - over 200 ft/lbs. It is what keeps the speedo drive gear tight. Otherwise you might find you have either a non functing speedo or one that bounces. If you need the exact spec. post and I will get it for you.

I think it goes to 240 ft lbs or something.

Ditto on the torque specs I just did front and rear on mine and I know they arnt that tight.

Bob Beauchaine

The torque spec on the rear yoke nut is 280 ftlbs. I will have to dig out the other specs.

holy smokes. that's higher than I was expecting.

I hope this is what you were looking for:
Front/Rear Bearing retainer bolts : 22-30 N-m (16-22 ft lbs)

This is right out of the '93 Service Manual.
